Hi Heidi,I haven't used the big Boss for spices or vegetables, however I use it everyday to make smoothies. It grinds up frozen strawberries nicely and very fast. I love this little blender and I am sure it will blend vegetables very well, it's got a big kick for a small blender.

It's not a power blender. It will blend fruit and soft veggies. It is perfect for making protein shakes and smoothies and it is really easy to clean.

It chops them up, but it does not puree them. Small pieces. I use it for green smoothies, and you will have pieces to chew at times.

It replaces the chopping blade. Tried it once to make a salad dressing but it didn't work very well.

It has a handle that you turn to chop things into smaller pieces. It is perfect for salsa or chopping onions to fry. There is a slicer as a separate attachment. I'm not sure if that answered your question.

I've use it to chop nuts and veggies. I love the way it chops my cabbage and carrots. I also use it to make my pie dough...hope this helps.

It can chop food, but will not chop thing into a paste as well as a food processor can. So it depends on what you want to make.

I haven't used it in that way. I use it for chopping vegetables and nuts. If needed just drain it by pouring excess off.

I like it but, I take mine to almost fine, so not sure it can be controlled, to do coarse or fine, it does not have an adjustment on it. But, it does grind it very well, and came with 2 extra cups to interchange, spices, herbs?

I suppose it depends on the consistency you desire. The unit is designed to make fine powderish-like product from things like coffee beans, dried rice etc. If you want the herbs "chopped" this is probably not the right product.

Be really careful with this tool because the blades are sharp. The process to cutting the herbs and spices is to roll the blades back and forth. I cut cilantro with it but honestly I could have done just as well with scissors. As far as dried spices, I have not used it for those but, if you press down hard enough and roll the tool, it should work. You could do just as well with a mortar set for grinding up spices.

Yes. I've used it to chop broccoli, Onions, and Tomatoes. The trick is to pulse when using the chopper. Don't keep your fingers on the button as that would only act as blender and then it will all end in mush. So far so good I'm having no issues with it. I have yet to use the ice shaver but plan to soon. This is the best investment I've made this year... so far.

I use it for pepper only and didn't try to grind other stuff, but I presume it's possible.

I'm answering an old question, but yes, it can grind seeds. I made tahini with it the other day -- just sesame seeds and olive oil. It worked very well.

It chops finely. No blender consistency. It has a fast speed and a slower speed. I just give it a couple of quick pulses on fast usually and it's chopped. I've chopped onion, garlic and cilantro and it does great. I've also chopped tomato but you don't want to get it filled more than halfway if there will be any liquid at all which you get even when you use a knife. I really wish I had gotten this a lot sooner.

It has steel blades that stay sharp I use it both salt and pepper. You can adjust from fine to coarse grinding.

I personally have not used it for spices. But you can vary the grind size to our choice so I don't see why not
